Add to SetSummary
In the late 1930s, Ruth Wakefield "invented" the chocolate chip cookie--chopping up a Nestle's semisweet chocolate bar and adding the pieces to her cookie batter. The cookies were hugely popular, leading Nestle to score its chocolate bar and include a small chopper for easy cutting. Soon, Nestle began mass producing morsels. Nestle included the cookie recipe on all its semisweet chocolate.
